How buying a gun in Casper works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Wyoming law allows.

Wyoming requires no purchase permits or gun registration, and there is no waiting period. When buying from a dealer, you must complete ATF Form 4473 and pass a federal NICS background check. The minimum age is 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns. Present a valid photo ID with your current address. Wyoming does not license gun owners, and state law preempts local firearm regulations. Ammo, optics, and parts ship directly to your residence.

Carrying a gun in Natrona County

Wyoming permits concealed carry without a license for adults 21 and older who can legally own a firearm, including non-residents.

Hunting near Casper

Wyoming Game and Fish manages deer and antelope seasons by hunt area, each with specific opening dates, license types, and quotas. General rifle seasons typically run October through November, with archery seasons earlier. Resident general deer licenses are available over the counter, but many areas and all non-resident tags require a draw. Verify current regulations for your hunt area.

The Casper Region offers mule deer and elk on Casper Mountain, with antelope in the surrounding sagebrush. Check Wyoming Game and Fish maps for hunt area licenses.

Long-range shooting is common around Casper, where open country and antelope hunting require accurate rifles. Residents in remote areas often consider home defense options.

Public shooting ranges near Casper

The public ranges on the city pages are run or listed by the state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Licenses, passes and hours are set by the agency.
